Traditional Internal Medicine Residency Training Program
Research-in-Residency Programs
Residents are encouraged to participate in highly mentored hypothesis driven research in a Program supervised by Dr Vincent Quagliarello, Professor of Medicine, Infectious Diseases.

Aims of the Research-in-Residency Program:
The aims of this program are multiple, but the most important aim is to introduce residents to the methods of hypothesis driven research. It is our firm belief that even those residents geared to a career in clinical practice will become better clinicians by participating in hypothesis driven research. Another important aim is to enable those who are considering a career in either basic science or clinical research to use their time in residency to pursue their interests.
The structure of the program:
A total of three 4-week blocks are assigned to research, either 4 weeks in the second year of residency and 8 in the third year, or 12 weeks in the third year. Residents either find their own mentors or helped to find mentors in the area of their interest. The topic chosen for research may be either a basic science one or involve clinical investigation. After obtaining a commitment from the research mentor, residents are required to submit a short proposal that is then reviewed, suggestions offered if necessary before being approved.
Presentation of Results:
Towards the end of spring the research is presented on Research-in-Residency Day as either posters or oral presentations.
